Cannot hear other players

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

I have played about 500 games in MCC on PC now and since i have been playing it has been odd to me that i haven’t been able to hear any other players in lobby, game, or otherwise, It like I’m playing the game with my voice chat channel set to none when i have had it on ALL since I started playing. I’ve made sure that my mic is the only output device i have enabled and still nothing from anyone. Is there something I’m missing here or does no one talk in game anymore. i find it hard to believe that in my nearly 500 games not a single person has used their mic or text function as i have never seen anyone send a text msg in game either.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks,

Both voice and text chat are broken as far as button input goes and apparently mics are also disabled by default.

i will talk without matchmaking, when i spend time with the same people in a session with a custom game browser.
